How to Install WMD Editor Plugin on Wordpress
Our dearest WordPress extraordinaire Jaypee discussed about the WMD Editor last week over at his blog, which is a rather cool comment plugin for WordPress that gives visitors the ability to put style on their comments plus they can easily create hyperlinks, list, blockquotes, etc… The plugin is very light at 32kb which you can download from here. And basically, what it does is it turn your comment < textarea> element to an editor.
As you may notice, WMD Plugin is not a regular plugin that you activate from the Plugins page of your WordPress. It only contains javascripts, and the first time I saw the files, I already knew they only have to be called somewhere on your page to activate it. But if you’re still confused, let me help you get around with it by listing the steps I take.
- Download the plugin.
- Extract the .zip file.
- Upload the “wmd” folder to your host. (since it’s still a plugin, I recommend placing it under plugins folder)
- Insert the following code somewhere within your page. In my case I placed it inside my single.php, right after the comment.php is called. I just thought it’s safer there.
< script type="text/javascript" src="/wmd.js”> - Check your comments page and see if it works.
And of course, I still recommend reading the readme.txt as you might learn something more about the plugin.
If you have any further questions, just leave ‘em on the comment section.
